1. Overview of Pabbly Connect for Integration

Pabbly Connect serves as the central platform that facilitates the integration of Google Sheets, OpenAI, and Trello. By using Pabbly Connect, you can automate the process of creating Trello cards based on data entered into Google Sheets. This integration allows you to leverage OpenAI’s capabilities to generate content automatically for your Trello cards.

To get started, sign in or create an account on the Pabbly Connect website. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow. This initial setup is crucial for connecting your applications seamlessly.

2. Setting Up Google Sheets as a Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will set up Google Sheets as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. The trigger event is defined as a new or updated spreadsheet row. This means whenever a new topic is entered in your Google Sheets, it will initiate the workflow.

• Open Pabbly Connect and create a new workflow.
• Select Google Sheets as the trigger application.
• Choose the event ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.

After selecting the trigger, Pabbly Connect will provide a webhook URL. You will need to copy this URL and set it up in your Google Sheets using the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on. This step is essential for establishing communication between Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect.

3. Connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

To connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect, you will need to install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on in Google Sheets. This add-on will allow you to send data from your spreadsheet to Pabbly Connect seamlessly.

• Go to Google Sheets and enter your topic in a new row.
• Click on Extensions, then Add-ons, and select Get Add-ons.
• Search for Pabbly Connect Webhooks and install it.

After installation, go back to Extensions, select Pabbly Connect Webhooks, and enter the webhook URL you copied earlier. Set the trigger column to the last updated column in your spreadsheet. This configuration ensures that any new data entered will trigger the workflow in Pabbly Connect.

4. Generating Content with OpenAI

Once Google Sheets is set up as a trigger, the next step is to use OpenAI to generate content based on the topics you input. In Pabbly Connect, select OpenAI as the action application and configure it to generate content.

Here’s how to set it up:

Choose OpenAI as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Select the event ‘Generate Content’. Connect your OpenAI account using the API key.

Map the topic from Google Sheets into the prompt field in OpenAI. Set the maximum token limit for the content generation, and once configured, send a test request. The response will include the generated content which will be used for the Trello card.

5. Creating Trello Cards Using Pabbly Connect

After generating the content with OpenAI, the final step is to create a Trello card using the information generated. In Pabbly Connect, select Trello as the action application and configure it to create a card.

Follow these steps to complete the integration:

Choose Trello as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Select the event ‘Create Card’. Connect your Trello account using the API key.

Map the card name to the topic from Google Sheets and the description to the content generated by OpenAI. After saving and sending the test request, check Trello to confirm that the card has been created successfully with the desired content.
